Git without a forge

Read Original

The article discusses the author's preference for hosting software projects in bare Git repositories without using a 'forge' like GitHub or GitLab. It explains the reasons for this choice (trust, avoiding imposed workflows, inertia) and provides a guide for contributors on how to submit patches via email or other means, listing preferred formats from best (repository URL) to worst (separate emails).
